Abstract

This study compared and analyzed the efficiency of the research results of the convergence research project operated by the National Science and Technology Research Council and the general research project carried out by the Government-funded research institute and proposed measures to enhance the efficiency of the operation and management of convergence research. Research data were collected from 21 government-funded research institutes through an information disclosure claim and DEA analysis was conducted for efficiency assessment. The SCI papers of convergence research showed high efficiency, and the patent registration and technology transfer sector showed high efficiency of general research projects. This indicates that convergence research projects for securing lead and original technologies are highly efficient, but their performance is low due to lack of participation by businesses in terms of the utilization of derived technologies, and more companies' participation and opportunities are needed for practical use of convergence research results. Through the analysis of efficiency of convergence research project performance, this study provided policy and guidance for R&D planning for rational investment of limited manpower and research costs. Further, future research on identifying efficiency is proposed depending on the type of technology subject to convergence research as a method for managing convergence research.

본 연구는 국가과학기술연구회에서 운영하는 융합연구사업과 출연(연)에서 수행하는 일반 수탁연구사업의 연구 성과에 대해 효율성을 비교 분석하였으며 이를 통해 융합연구 운영 및 관리의 효율성 제고 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구데이터는 정보공개청구를 통해 21개 정부출연연구기관을 대상으로 수집되었고 효율성 평가를 위해 DEA 분석을 실행하였다. 분석결과 융합연구의 SCI 논문은 높은 효율성을 나타냈고 특허등록과 기술이전 부문은 일반연구사업이 높은 효율성을 나타냈다. 이는 선도 및 원천기술 확보를 위한 융합연구사업이 당초 목적에서 부합되는 높은 효율성을 나타내고 있으나, 이로 인해 파생되는 기술의 활용도 면에서는 기업들의 참여 부족 등으로 그 성과가 낮은바, 융합연구 결과의 실용화를 위해 보다 많은 기업의 참여와 기회가 필요함을 시사한다. 본 연구는 융합연구사업 성과의 효율성 분석을 통해 제한된 인력 및 연구비용의 합리적인 투자를 위한 R&D 기획 및 정책에 활용 지침을 제공하였다. 또한, 융합연구 관리 방안으로서 융합연구의 대상 기술 유형에 따라 효율성 파악에 관한 미래 연구를 제안하고 있다.
